Sam Bradbury and Mark Heidebrecht, partners at Ergonomics International were interviewed by manufacturing journalist, Thomas R. Cutler, and share the importance of data-driven analytics as a return to work strategy during the pandemic. Read the feature article in Evolving Enterprise here.

Bradbury shared, “COVID-19 impacts the need for data-driven analytics. Data-driven analytics are totally essential in helping employees and employers. Ergonomics International just announced the immediate availability of a COVID-19 Employer Management System (EMS) for abatement strategies. Employers must be armed with necessary tools to identify at-risk employees, track those with COVID-19 immunity, and recognize potential carriers.”

Heidebrecht explained, “If data-driven ergonomic principles are applied during the design stage, the risks and number of handling points are reduced. This leads to more efficient processes and fewer touches. Movements are money; reducing human movements increases profits and gets the product out the door quicker.”
